i'm also using same wave point,
HC is not very light demanding, but u need 2 make sure ur CO2 is strong for it

no need, i install a bit more so tat it is a bit under voltage, n won't release so much heat

hi, know where 2 get dry fertilizer?

nope, no problem 1, remove the air in ur canister thn it won't annoy you anymore
tis reactor prone 2 water leak u will need those thread seal tape, or buy a better 1

i'm using tis

i got tis in the pic co2 solonoid and 2.8L co2 tank

left side indicator 0, right side is 50, what it mean?
does it mean empty soon, my 1st time read this indicator

last time my friend brought a lot from him, he got lots of NPK
but not too much of csm+b

dry fert, best ways to save money, learn how to use and mix dry fert
http://rotalabutterfly.com/nutrient-calculator.php

for beginner planted and shrimp is not a good mix, shrimp is sensitive to co2 and fertilizer (especially iron and copper)
too much co2 shrimp die, too little co2 plant die

1. any aquashop, i know fish depot got sell it in PJ
2. get cherry shrimp, led fixture can heat up water if too close to water, they are not sensitive to high temperature, no need get a fan nor chiller if water not exceed 31 degree
3. powrsand + bacter make bacteria settle easily cycle ur tank faster, 5 vitamins n minerals make ur shrimps adjust 2 the new environment easily & mold easily, not madatory

get little cherry shrimp, plant mini hair grass, fern or plants that does not require high co2 and high fertilizer dose
adjust co2 to green level, dose good amount of fert and you can easily get a nice carpet of hair grass
lower co2 if shrimp die, until u r comfortable then only introduce expensive shimps like crs

or iwagumi is not up 2 ur taste thn go with monte carlo dry start 6weeks after carpet
thn only fill up the tank with water and do background scape, after another week u can introduce few fish and crs without needing to cycle the tank
as bacteria already settle in the soil

avoid getting pearlgrass / hc / ug

mini hair grass iwagumi shrimp tank or monte carlo dry start then aquascape

look like P or iron deficiency to me

I manage to grow HC with one of tis, i think it is pretty much ok
but i think RM 100 is quite expensive, maybe get a new one instead? wavepoint lights are not that expensive
even if led have long life span u don't knw how long its going 2 last

certainly biohome filter media, very effective

certainly biohome filter media, very effective

normally we get double or triple of the recommended size as many ppl recommendation

bcauz
- planted tank u have not just fish poop 2 worry abt, plant rotting old leaves and the fertilizer too
- flow rate might not be strong enough 4 the CO2 to reach all parts of the tanks especially the foreground plants

i don't knw how 2 advise, bcauz i don't knw wat & how much of fishes u going 2 buy, how much substrate u going to put, wat plants / aqua scape type u going do
maybe a more experienced ppl can help ujelly
if u r experienced, i think it is sufficient, with a power head

never trust the 600L maximum recommendation, i think it is pretty much sufficient

small tank yup but 100L no, it will hinder flow in the tank

petsmart, fish shop tat sell arowana fish flowerhorn fish, not sure if fishdepot still carry it but u can try call and ask them
last place is here wts thread

donut media also good 2 go, but whn speaking abt filter media those are much more effective
3x more effective
